Day 2: VERTICAL CIRCULATION
1. Using Mind Maps and Graphic Organizers to summarize information graphically.
Do you know what mind maps are?
Do you know what graphic organizers are?
Do you know what they are used for?
Have you ever used them? What for?
How many types of graphic organizers do you know?
For information about graphic organizers, please consult the following web sites:
Take notes of what you consider are the most important parts of both texts in a word doc.
Use both texts, the podcast on Horizontal Circulation, and your notes to summarize the information contained in the texts using either a mind map or any other type of graphic organizer.
You can create one diagram for each text, or you could also integrate both texts in only one mind map or graphic organizer.
Create two new pages in your personal wiki space:
Horizontal Circulation
Vertical Circulation
NOTE: If you integrated both texts in only one graphic organizer or brain map, then create only one new page in your wiki, and name it "Circulation" or "Horizontal & Vertical Circulation".
